7 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Stunning Garden of the Gods Park scenery, blue skies and the glory of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain have attracted visitors to Colorado Springs for more than a century.

Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and United States Air Force Academy. Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's lots more to do: get outside with Outdoor Activities, find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, make a trip to Pikes Peak - America's Mountain, and walk around Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
